I bought these to use in mini plastic jack-o-lanterns we hung on a Halloween tree in our yard. They fit perfectly inside the containers and the tree looked so cool all Halloween night. They really do flicker and just looked awesome illuminating those little containers. I am going to use them in our Christmas luminaries, I like them so much.
I am very pleased with no more worries about the candles burning down or the wind blowing them out.

OK, so some of the reviews panned this product because not all the lights worked. I ordered a set and, yes, some did not light at first try. BUT, it's a matter of making good contact with the battery - open the door to the battery compartment and fiddle with the contact points. With a minimum of fuss I got all 12 working. And, really, for the price it's a terrific deal! Buy the extra batteries and you'll be pleased for a long time!

I bought this set going on over 4 years ago now. I use them over and over again. I love them because I can have the look of the candles without worrying about my little daughter or the cat knocking them over or burning themselves. The batteries are easy enough to replace. Mine are still in working order and I am going to add another set of 12 to my existing set. I have acquired a few different kinds here and there at a cheaper price but the flicker isn't quite the same. These have a pretty good imitation of a real candle. You can't use them in clear containers but they work with everything else. I particularly like them in those holiday red and green or whatever etched votive holders. And the best part is when the holidays are over....no wax clean up. Just pop 'em out and put them away. There's also no scent. Some scents can trigger raging headaches and spoil a great evening for you or your guest so I think that's great. You can always find a way to add a mild scent to something but when you have half a dozen burning candles it's hard to find a balance. I give 4 out of 5. It's a great product and is the next best thing to real.

Only seven of the dozen actually lighted and some of those didn't light very consistently.

These are soooo not pretty and the shipping on 4doz was almost $12 (They came in a $4.95 postoffice mailing box). It is definitely worth the extra $ to purchase the other flickering tealights offered on the same page; -- Much nicer & actually an amber color, which these really aren't.12 Battery Operated AMBER LED Tealight Candles Flameless Heatless No Heat Candle Flickering Wickless Led Long Lasing Life Faux Wedding Holiday Christmas Thanksgiving Party Light Dozen

The tealights all go on and do flicker but after I bought these I found a 3 pack in my local dollar store. The 3/$1 tealights are brighter and have a more realistic flicker effect.

We've used these candles in our wedding centerpieces. They make for a worry-free reception, not having to worry about flame. Also, one does not have to clean the wax out of the votives. And when the dance is over, you can take them home and use them throughout the house and even in your tent when camping.
They are an excellent value.

It's great when you can buy something and eagerly await its arrival, but when it comes and you open the package and try to use it and it doesn't work it really is a disappointment.

Out of the 12 candles only 5 worked, so where's the bargain in that? I would not recommend this product via mail.

For whatever reason these do not light a colored glass tea light holder attractively. The color of the glass disappears only to leave a rather ugly bar of yellow visible. I put these in several different holders only to get the same ugly putrid yellow look. Back to regular tea lights i guess. These are also quite dim as well. No warm glow.

The flicker is so pronounced, so off-then-on again, it's like a high wind is blowing through the house--the candles look really quite ridiculous. Also, not all work. (Although based on previous reviews, this is what i was expecting to be the case; nonetheless, I think it is inappropriate.) My fault entirely, though--what was I expecting for under ten dollars?
